Teens Raped, Burned, Tasered Gwinnett Woman: Police

TUCKER, GA — Two teens raped, tasered and burned a Gwinnett County woman with boiling water while her young son watched, according to police.

Francisco Palencia, 17, Josue Ramirez, 19, and a 15-year-old girl have been arrested on rape, home invasion, kidnapping and other charges in the May 12 attack.

Palencia and the 15 year old were arrested on Tuesday. Ramirez was booked into the Gwinnett County Detention Center on June 15.

According to a Gwinnett County Police department report, the woman returned from work to her home near Tucker shortly before 3 a.m. to find two men in her kitchen wearing dark clothes and ski masks.

The woman, who was born in 1994 according to the police report, said the men shocked her multiple times with tasers. As she tried to protect her two children, who she had brought in with her, one of the men poured two pots of boiling water on her, burning her neck, shoulder and arm.

One of the men forced the woman into a bedroom and demanded she take off her clothes. He forced her to perform oral sex on him, then raped her, according to the police report.

The woman told police that her youngest son, born in 2016, was in a car seat during the assault. Her older son, born in 2013, followed her into the bedroom and sat on the bed during the attack, according to the report.

The two men and girl then ran out of the apartment and the woman called 911. After finding a babysitter for her children, she was taken to Gwinnett Medical Center to be treated.

Police say the attackers appear to have entered the woman's apartment by cutting through a screen door, then entering an unlocked sliding glass door on her back porch. The woman reported that her jewelry box and school ID had been stolen and that her German shepherd puppy, which had been on the back porch, was missing.

Both teens who have been named publicly are being held without bond.
